ABOUT

Insatiably curious, I have been obsessed with exploring the architecture of knowledge all my life. While other teens were partying in high school, at 17 years old, I was already to design policy frameworks at the Canadian Association of Broadcasters in Ottawa. Since then, my career has spanned broadcasting, international space consulting, and high technology. I have worked with people from all walks of life and value all those learnings equally, including small business owners, start-ups, multinational corporations, intergovernmental organizations, social enterprises, and non-profits.

As we enter the Age of Intelligence, I am working to help pioneer a new practice area I call "Knowledge Asset Design."

As a self-professed knowledge nerd, I enjoy finding solutions in highly complex environments where others dare not tread. From local to global contextualization, the Age of Intelligence will require nimble design as we develop new knowledge architectures to avoid unintended negative systemic effects and realize the unlimited potential of AI while successfully navigating these turbulent times.
